Governor Fayose Reacts To Release Of Chibok Girls – What He Said Will Surprise You

Ekiti-Ekiti state Governor, Mr Ayodele Fayose has the described the
celebration of the Federal Government over the release of 21 Chibok
girls by the Boko Haram, as not only diversionary, but a tactic employed
to divert the attention of Nigerians away from the hunger and outrage
generated by crackdown on judges.
The governor said “Nigerians have had enough of anti-corruption war”
saying it is high time President Muhammadu Buhari addressed massive
hunger that is killing many people in the country.
Fayose said this on Thursday at the commissioning of a three-block
classrooms built at the Erelu Adebayo Children’s Home in Iyin Ekiti,
Irepodun/Ifelodun Local Government Area as part of activities marking
his second year in office.
In his words,

“What they came out today to tell Nigerians that 21
abducted Chibok girls have been released by the Boko Haram group is
diversionary.
Nigerians have never had it so bad. People are very hungry. What they
did today is just to divert attention from what they did last week by
clamping judges and justices into detention. While no one is saying
corruption should be condoned, but the due process must be followed.
“The Peoples Democratic Party-led Federal Government that they
labelled as inept, did better than this. The exchange rate of the naira
to the dollar is unacceptable. The situation has led to hyper-inflation
where what people used to buy for N30,000 can not be bought with
N100,000‎. Look at the elections that have been conducted since they
came to office, all the gains recorded by the previous government as far
as democracy is concerned are being eroded,” he said.

Fayose said:
“Food security is number one, they should stop fooling
us; our economy must be urgently addressed because Nigerians voted for
the government in power so that they can enjoy better lives.
“There is hunger everywhere, many husbands had turned to wives in
their families. Nigeria is hard to live in and we pray that God will
change this change for us.
“It is not good for a government to be catching thieves and
kidnappers everyday while its citizens are hungry. Everybody is now a
thief in Nigeria, we need prayer in Nigeria and we need divine
intervention.
“Our people are suffering under the APC government, I am not afraid
of what man can do to me. They have taken our rights away from us but I
am not afraid because if you want to catch me you must slaughter God.
“We have had enough of diversionary tactics, they are using the
report of Chibok girls’ release to cover up the undue arrest of our
judges. Trampling on our rights is trampling on the Constitution.
“We want food on our table because propaganda does not amount to food
on the table of our citizens. Let them continue to conspire, I will
continue to rule them.
“Those waiting for me, tell them that they will continue to wait in
vain. I am going somewhere, God is taking me to somewhere in Nigeria
whether my adversaries like it or not, Fayose said.
